- Informative Review by Blake
-
I really like this book it is quite informative, just make sure you have a graphic tablet before you start down the path, doing these tutorials with a mouse is a nightmare.Value
Oh yeah 4 out of 5 because of the landscape design, just makes it awkward to read unless it's on a bench/desk. (Posted on 04/05/2013) - Very good intro to digital painting Review by Christian
-
I see myself as an experienced 3D and 2D artist and when I started reading this book I was engaged. It really covers a lot of techniques and even though you are very experienced there will be a trick or two to learn. This is for beginners as well as more advanced artist (maybe to brush up your style).Value
Nice feel and look to the book too, very good

What a great book! I don't do a lot of painting, I'm more of a 3D artist, but it was a great resource for me to get started with when I have the urge to paint and it had a lot of advanced tips in it as well. The book is visually appealing and was easy on the eyes to look at as well as follow. (Posted on 07/02/2013)Value - Good enough... Review by Ozan

This book has a nice cover and very good quality paper, but I am a beginner and don't feel like its for beginners. It's too complicated and it does not explain every section in the book. It's not like step by step,.but its good enough and like it. (Posted on 05/02/2013)Value - Great Review by Matt

This book is amazing. It has detailed work and descriptive tutorials for all levels of artists. The book states its for beginners but don't be put off by this if you are at an intermediate to expert level in photoshop because there are key fundamental aspects of photoshop which you need to know. Even if you can paint, design or create in photoshop I highly recommend this book. (Posted on 09/05/2012)Value - It's a great book Review by Heavy_D

I LOVE the inspirational illustrations that was chosen, it's a great book to look back on how it was done again. the book has a great look and feel, They have spend a lot of time and effort in it.Value
Gave it a 4 star just because of the plastic cover that comes with it. It's difficult to put it back, the pages just won't get inside the plastic cover that easy. But further than that it's a great book.... learned a lot of it ;) (Posted on 09/05/2012) - Great tips and advice, with awesome artwork! Review by jsnzart

I really love this book because I've been trying to get into digital art for a while now. I was decent with Photoshop to start, but never really could let the art flow, so to speak. Following this book certainly put me in the right direction as it covers everything, and all of it is very detailed! (Posted on 08/05/2012)Value
